Week one of the '26 season is a weak one

Clemson is a has-been program now, too.

Maybe Idaho will beat a rebuilding @89ute

Louisville vs. Ole Miss could be competitive and for some reason is being played in Nashville.

Yeah, not much to watch.

Idaho fucked up their coaching hire after Eck. #myvandals suck again.

What would you expect from a guy who got his football start playing at one of the worst programs in WESCO? #myMTHSHawks

Knowing that coach as a high school kid back then, I cannot fathom how he got any kind of head coaching gig now. The old saying about who you know is always true.

Listening to Cowherd and Klatt shill on it all is nauseating.

They are elated with this NFL light crap.

I worked with Cowherd for a while a long time ago and used to talk to him so I'll always be okay with him. Klatt is just aids and the college football media guys are ultra embarrassing. Every long time college football fan I know hates where everything has gone and casuals are only coming in for gambling and that's it. Indiana feels like a last gasp of anything remotely interesting or to cheer for in the sport and next year they are just another team feasting on rich guy money and now who will probably only lose 1-2 games a year for infinity because of money, the portal, and being a rare school where their coach won't leave.
 
Speaking of dreary, our 2026 opening 3 games are pathetic / why not play Roosevelt High? And, we don’t have a AOC team of consequence schedule until 2030

Blah, not a good look.

Louisville vs Ole Miss will be a Top 20 match-up and probably the only one Week 1.

UCLA at Cal will be chinteresting given the new coaches at each.

CU at GTech should be entertaining.

Apple Cup will gets a premium TV slot given the dreck elsewhere

He's an NFL guy so I don't listen to him much, but his take on Inside the NBA and Barkley was spot on. NBA has to be the worst run pro sport of them all at this point. Imagine looking at your ratings and saying, "Yeah we need less Barkley and more propaganda"

ESPN has fucking ruined the NBA. They took the prime jewel of Ernie, Chuck, Kenny and Shaq and put them in the corner.

Throbber used to watch at least two NBA games per week on TNT. The announcing teams were all top tier. Now it is fucking Doris Burke and insufferable Richard Jefferson.

If I never heard Kendrick Perkins again, it would be too soon.
 
The NBA is on TV more than ever including broadcast networks on weeknights

That would have been awesome back when it mattered
 
Paying your players so much that a bench 3-and-no-D guy half owns the teams he plays on and dresses like Zoolander just transitioned, and then having a problem with old school players making fun of that.

"Down" here Karl Anthony Towns was being shit on by local radio and it was much more entertaining than "Can Darnold bring us another chud trophy?!?!?!?!?!"

100. Barkley is one of the few people who just lay out it like is, whether it’s popular or PC or whatever. Amd he’s funny.
